From Washington Letter to the Chicago Netcs
The saloon-keepers complained to the police
yesterday that liquor was being sold at the
clubs. The District Attorney advised the police
that mans clubhouse was his castle, and
liquor could be legally sold to members of such
organizations Therefore this morning there
was boom in clubs AT every barroom in
uotrn a book was opened for signatures TO a
constitution and bylaws of an organization for
social and moral improvement; the initiation
fee was 10 or l5c, and every man who paid 1t
wSS entitled to drink Of his own selection.
The payment of the initiation fee and placing
o. his signature to the constitution gives maA
all the privileges of the club until further no
tice Toward evening most of these
clubs applied 10 the Register of Deeds
for charter which he was per
united under the law to give them upon their
filing a copy Of the constitution and bylaws.
In each cas- the list of ncOrporatOrS was com
posed of the proprietor of the saloon, his bar
keeper, his waters and attendants, with now
and then friend of the family. The constltu-
tions and bylaws filed were generally stolen
copies of those of the fashionable clubs in town,
in which the name Of the organization and list
of officers only were altered. High-sOunding
titles were adopted such the Empire Club
the Independence Club, the Imperial Club the
Royal Club, the GoodfellOwShip Club ETC.
etc., and one of the affairs announces
itself to be organized for the purpose of
promoting public sentiment in opposition
to the Sunday laws. 1t is a question whether
there Will be in these organizations the relief
that is sought. BY O'Clock this morning every
old bum in town had joined club or two and
was re jocing, but it is claimed that the court

manner, and that when a saloon-keeQer who is
arrested pleads the club racket he will be made

Of these clubs to-day, but it is feared they will

the book of signatures, will be very likely to
call them to the witness stand.

| Ministers Discuss the Liquor Question
The liquor question hobs up constantly in
all parts of the country and in all sorts of
places nowadays. In one place the fight is
for high license and in another Tor prohibi-
ton. IN most places the temperance people
are divided on the question whether or not
( high license promises better results than pro
hbit.on, and in others there arc grave
doubts whether or not the liquor question
ought 10 be kept out of politics.
The Methodist ministers of the New York
East Conference at Mount Vernon, in that
State, day or two ago had one of the live
lest debates ever listened to on the liquor
question They We're very good humored
throughout the discussion, but it was appar-
ent that not a few found difficulty in keep
ing cool and confirming themselves strictly to
courteous language. The discussion lasted
four hours, and finally ended i'll the adop-
ton OF resolutions upon which the Rev. w.
H. B0ole commented as follows: "You
might as well take a man and cut out his
heart, then stand him up and call him a
man as TO call these resolutions prohibition
resolutions"
The resolutions were certainly not calcu-
lated to create much enthusiasm either
among Methodists or temperance people
generally. They were so mild as to justify
the suspicion that some of the powerful
deacons of not few of the churches repre-
sented at the conference are inclined to take
a little wine for the stomachs sake once in
while The truth is, however, there was
such a diversity of opinion among the as
sembled ministers as to the best method of
advancing the cause of temperance that it
was impossible to pass strong resolutions. All
were united in declaring that the liquor
traffic is a great evil, but they were far
from being united respecting the remedy for
the evil. The Prohibitionists couldn't see
any good in high license, and those who
favored high license thought that prohib-
ton in the cities did more harm than good
There We're advocates of prohibition party
and there were those who were certain that
wherever the liquor issue was made polit-
cal one it got a black eye and a setback.
If all of those who favor the temperance
cause could be induced to work to-
gether tremendously they would be a great
power Their differences rob them of their
influence. They cxpend the greater part of
their strength in trying to convince each
other as to the proper way TO destroy the
liquor traffic. But when ministers find it
impossible to agree upon the best way to
fight the battle of temperance harmonious
action is not TO be expected from laymen.
